Devotional: Ever Near

The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man,[25 nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything. 26 And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place,
27 THAT THEY SHOULD SEEK GOD， AND PERHAPS FEEL THEIR WAY TOWARD HIM AND FIND HIM. YET HE IS ACTUALLY NOT FAR FROM EACH ONE OF US. 28 for “‘In him we live and move and have our being;”Acts 17

---
No costly payment nor hard effort is required for one to draw close to God. Come assuming and expecting nothing; come bare and stripped down， wanting nothing except to know and be known of Him. Come as such and you`ll receive the closeness you desire.

When Did Church Become About Us?

When did church and worship become centered around man? We sit during 'Sunday' (whatever day you have it) church and it’s become a program. Lots of noise and distraction. So many things happening. So many people talking. By the time we get to the message, the congregation is already tired from information overload and overstimulation. The message is the last one in, and it’s a sad thing that leaders feel the need to decorate Sunday worship with entertainment. Lots of announcements. Fun segments. Entertainment. Yes, connecting points. These are all important for fellowship. Just maybe not too many. And not one after another. Maybe, finish our main business first - and that is to hear from God.
